8.23.14 Saturday!

No day off here from work or training. Finally managed a "long run" ( well, 80 minutes, but longer than I've done for several weeks) early this AM as we had a workshop all day at school. (And tomorrow, too. After 2nd week of school and Parent Night.) Even managed a 1500m recovery/sanity swim after the workshop. Then interviewed a potential housekeepr. I need to take some courses this year, and the only place that time could come out of besides sleep and training would be from my (already minimal) efforts at keeping house!

Hello!!

2:20 on the trainer...faded a bit towards the end, but made it!
2 mile run with the kids riding along on their bikes

Finished with the ALS Ice Bucket challenge - actually felt kind of good after the workout! Have a great weekend!

Congrats to those of you with ambition today. Took my first day off in weeks. Spent about 8 hours doing yard work and cleaning garage. Treated myself to a couple of hours to setup new Garmin Edge 510 and new Look Max pedals on bike. My wife has wanted a simple comp on her bike so I migrated my replaced by the Garmin, Bontrager unit to hers. Been raining most of the afternoon (glad I finished the lawn as sprinkles were starting). Hope tomorrow has a weather window so I can try out the new gear and get in 20-30 miles.

38.5 mile bike this morning followed up with a 3.6 miles run right after.

Started down pouring hard about half way through my ride which was unpleasant and demotivating but figured since I was already soaked I might as well keep going!

Did my first OWS today in preparation for my first triathlon next weekend. Went for about 30 mins and it was a worthwhile trip down to the Dam. I learned how difficult it is to swim straight! Looks like I may be zig-zagging next week haha

90 minutes on the trainer this morning. Got a little twinge in my left knee. Not sure if it was running in the yard last night showing my 14yr old son the old man still has it or from riding the trainer. May take it a little easy the next few days.

so worth it especially if the person also does a load or two of laundry here and there.
